Round 2: Clarification Dialogue - Study contributions, request further clarification and add more contributions.




After all the contributions and their explanations are entered in the wiki by the AUTHORS, please read it carefully and pose questions for additional clarification of meaning for the AUTHORS to respond to.


PLEASE TAKE INTO ACCOUNT THE FOLLOWING STRICT RULE OF ENGAGEMENT: The questions for clarification posed to other authors/stakeholders should not include any "value judgments" about the merits or demerits of any statement. Only questions for clarification of the author's meaning are permitted at this stage of the group work. Furthermore, only the authors have the authority to clarify the meaning of their statements.



Follow these steps to make requests for clarification of a contibution entered by another author:

  • Go to the Discussion tab on the "Round 1" page to see a list of all of the contributions.

  • Click on one of the "Subject" to read an author's contribution.

  • When seeking additional clarification, enter your question in the "Reply Form" on the bottom of the same page as the author's contribution.

  • Enter your question in the "Message box".

  • Click "Post" and your question will be posted to the Wiki for the author of the subject thread to respond to.




If you are the author of a contribution and somebody else is asking for clarification of your contribution, you will be notified by e-mail. You role will be to read the question and answer it by filling out the Reply form and proceed to answer the question posed to you by another participant.


This interactive and iterative discussion for clarification of the meaning of the contibutions is being monitored by the KMT/FT to avoid any violations of the rules of engagement, and recorded automatically in the wiki as it unfolds. In this fashion the group creates a record of their dialogue.

It will also be summarized and Tabulated by the KMT/FT and sent to each participant electronically as an augmented and amended version of Table 5. You will recievie the new Table 5 before the implementation of Round 3.

The wiki will EXPLICITLY IDENTIFY THE AUTHOR OF EACH CONTRIBUTION. We will use the wiki to capture the discussion for clarification of meanings and then enter the content into the Cogniscope software to generate Table 5.
